Listen Later

In this episode of One by One, hosts Nick and Austin bring together Monty and Whitney to share their complete story of marital restoration after betrayal and addiction. The couple reveals how they discovered a lost wedding ring at a pivotal moment in Monty's spiritual return, symbolizing their entirely new relationship rather than a repaired version of the old one. They discuss the chaotic "insanity" both experienced—Whitney through trauma and Monty through addiction—and how prayer became their lifeline when nothing else worked. The conversation explores their journey to authentic vulnerability, with Monty opening his heart fully despite lifelong emotional barriers. Despite temporary estrangement from their adult children, particularly their oldest son, they maintain hope that their transformation will eventually heal those relationships too. This episode highlights how inviting the Lord into marriage creates a triangle, the strongest shape, where two people drawing closer to God naturally draw closer to each other.
